Los Angeles, like most liberal cities, allows the homeless to camp wherever they choose. Their little cities can be found in various parts of the downtown area. L.A. has filed suit against another city, trying to stop what they say amounts to this city taking its homeless, and donating them to the good people of L.A. and their tolerant policies.
Los Angeles is at the tipping point regarding what could be a major negative event.
The homeless encampments are filthy, these folk live in abject squalor. However, they have created essentially Disneyland for rats . These encampents are infested with rats, and the rats are infested with fleas, who carry bubonic plague.
Epidemiologists have been keeping track of these rats and fleas, and have estimated the rising rate at 1.5 %.
They say if it reaches 2% People will get the plague in significant numbers, and the outbreak could reach epidemic proportions.
Today, the plague can be fought with expensive antibiotics, but this is problematic with the homeless population.
Will they recognize the early stages, which present like common illnesses like cold or flu ?
If cured, will they return to the same environment that gave them the disease in the first place ?
After considering all the options, the L.A. has been presented with a stark solution for a liberal city.
It has been recommended that the city break up all these encampments, disperse the people, and remove the filth they have created. Further, the recommendation is that people never be allowed to take over the sidewalks for their collective living.
Will the city fathers do this to avoid an epidemic of bubonic plague ? I do not believe they will. The common good is rarely considered when dealing with alleged oppressed people. Their interests are always paramount.
So, lets watch LA and see how this extremely serious threat plays out. I could be totally wrong, I hope so.
The plague is one very bad, and potentially fatal disease. It once killed at least a third of the people in Europe.
